The pattern opened opened fine for me. I think that it may be because they’re .val, so I’ve saved it as .sm2d. Please see if it will work for you now :

And (perhaps) update your Seamly to the latest release.

(You may need to find the measurements file again.) :upside_down_face:

Hello! I’m having just the same problem… It’s not the first time that has happened to me, is it anything I’m doing wrong? How could I fix it (and make sure it won’t happen again)? Thanks!!

Hello @Sanny_Kreativ

If you post your pattern and any measurement file we can take a look and fix the pattern if neccessary or suggest what you need to do.

Thank you so much. Today, I have two other patterns with this problem. I did not change anything.

But as a new Member, i am not allowed to upload files. How can I send this in an other way.

I’m having the same issue as well, and can’t upload as a new user.

Reload the Page. Then you`ll see a notification on the upper right, which informs about a new level. Then try again.

Please find the file attached. I just started using it the other day, so I don’t know a lot about the system.

Yours is the easy fix… not sure why this happens, but this part at the end of the file needs to be near the top.

Ok. Your pattern had a few places where the lineWeight was written as “1.00”, where as the schema call for “1”.

Clearly a bug I need to fix.

Here’s your fixed pattern.

Thank you so much. Is there an opinion, to fix it by myself for the next time?

Sure. The pattern files are just xml files that you can edit in any text editor. Just search for any occurance of lineWeight=“1.00” and replace with lineWeight=“1”.

In the meantime I have a way I can update the app to fix problem.
